There are about 200 different types of cells in the body. Here are just a few examples: red blood cells (erythrocytes) skin cells.

Well, I'm not sure about how many cells we have, but the average human body makes about 259 billion red blood cells per day. (That's why I don't know). Also, there are about 200 different types of cells with about 20 different types of organelles.

Hope this helps!
